List of Ingredients
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 large onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tablespoon oil
1 red or green bell pepper
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons ground coriander
2 cups quinoa
3 1/3 cups water
1 cup chopped fresh bazil
3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
salt and pepper to tasteRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Spread nuts in a single layer on an
unoiled baking sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly deepened in
color. Set aside. In a heavy saucepan, saute onions and garlic in oil for 5
minutes, or until softened. Add bell pepper, cumin and coriander; continue
to saute for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While vegetables cook, place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse well under
cold running water for 1-2 minutes. Add rinsed quinoa and water to saucepan,
cover tightly and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Stir in basil and corn, and
cook 5-10 minutes longer, or until quinoa is tender. Stir to fluff it, add
salt and pepper to taste and top with toasted pine nuts. Serve hot.
